Oliver Stone: 'Jewish-Dominated Media' Prevents Hitler from Being Portrayed 'in Context'

Director Oliver Stone belittled the Holocaust during a shocking interview with the Sunday Times today, claiming that America's focus on the Jewish massacre was a product of the "Jewish domination of the media."

The director also defended Hitler and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and railed against the "powerful lobby" of Jews in America.

Stone said that his upcoming Showtime documentary series "Secret History of America," seeks to put Hitler and Communist dictator Joseph Stalin "in context."

"Hitler was a Frankenstein but there was also a Dr Frankenstein. German industrialists, the Americans and the British. He had a lot of support," Stone told Sunday Times' reporter Camilla Long.

Stone said that, "Hitler did far more damage to the Russians than the Jewish people, 25 or 30 [million killed]."

The Sunday Times interviewer then asked why there was such a focus on the Holocaust.

"The Jewish domination of the media," responded Stone. "There's a major lobby in the United States. They are hard workers. They stay on top of every comment, the most powerful lobby in Washington. Israel has f***** up United States foreign policy for years."

The director, who recently met with Iranian President Ahmadinejad, also slammed the U.S. policy toward Iran as "horrible."

"Iran isn't necessarily the good guy," said Stone. "[B]ut we don't know the full story!"

The Scarface screenwriter had even more encouraging words for socialist Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, who Stone called "a brave, blunt, earthy" man. The director has recently been promoting his Chavez-praising documentary called "South of the Border."

When the interviewer pointed out that Chavez has had a less-than-stellar record on human rights, Stone immediately dismissed the criticism.

"The internet's fully free [in Venezuela]," said Stone. "You can say what the hell you like. Compare it with all the other countries: Mexico, Guatemala, above all Colombia, which is a joke."

While Stone has not been as blunt about his views on Jews and the Holocaust in the past, he has been outspoken in his fondness for Chavez and his disagreements with the U.S.'s policy on Iran.

On ABC's Good Morning America on July 28, the director told anchor George Stephanopoulos that he "absolutely" believes Chavez is a good person, and claimed that there was "there's no pattern of censorship in this country [Venezuela]."

Stone also said that if the U.S. pursued sanctions against Iran, "it's going to be like North Vietnam again."


Once again Oliver Stone fails at history, The industrialists side with who is in power trying to preserve theirs its self preservation.

Haven't seen that one. Not ready to support anything about Chavez.

Maybe Stone and Mel Gibson can do a movie together where they bravely struggle against the Jews.

Strangely enough, after calling ww2 a "War of Racism and Terror", Tom Hanks might may be interested in being in that movie.

I have always liked Tom's work, I hope he doesn't do anything to turn me off.

Pretty sure the most powerful lobby in Washington is either NEA or AARP.

It all started with JFK, that was when I first really looked at him; that was enough for me. When you add Nixon, Castro, FARC, Chavez and "America's Secret History"...

It seems as if every movies ha's made has been his own version of events Midnight Express, and The Doors are prime examples.

Stone just did a movie, name is escaping me, about Strong men of South America and the fluff job he does for Chavez can only, at the rist of Goodwinning myself, be compared to Leni Repinstal (sp) triumph of the Will.

I thought he did a strong job with W. to be completely honest.

I could tolerate three of his movies and only liked one.

Natural Born Killers, Platoon and Any Given Sunday, and I liked Any Given Sunday, the rest of his stuff is just garbage, IMnsHO
